But instead of deflecting it you catch his fist in your right, drawing him in and slamming a heavy left into his guts. “GRRAAAA!”
“Kyuuh?!” he exclaims as your heavy strike knocks the wind out of his lungs, Trunks doubling over in midair. Immediately you take advantage of the opening, unleashing a devastating combination of heavy Djem So power blows. You deliver over a dozen unanswered blows, ending your combination with a heavy left uppercut into twisting back right kick to the chest. He is sent flying back, recovering after a few seconds and flipping back, reorienting on you with a snarl. But as he flips he puts both hands up, creating a ball of ki he then launches at you. “FINISH BUSTER!”
“Hmph. BARRIER!” you shout, throwing both arms wide and forming your shield, charging into his attack. The orb detonates against your shield, the Barrier protecting you from the blast. Dashing through the sudden smoke cloud, you end the shield, dashing in at him. “Nice try!”
“Dammit!” he shouts, blue aura blazing as he dashes in to meet your charge. Both of you swing, right fists slamming into each other's as you stop each other in place. He strains, pushing against you when you smirk. Letting his punch 'win', you switch to the Su Ma technique, spinning clockwise around his punch and fire a heavy left into his jaw, followed by a spinning right backfist that knocks him backwards. “Geh! Tch! I won't lose that easily!”
Trunks again dashes in at you, rapidly closing the distance. But then, as he dashes in suddenly his powerlevel surges, ascending to a Super Saiyan and driving his right into your jaw. Instantly he powers back down, the heavy blow sending you flying backwards. For several seconds you're stunned, only recovering after being sent quite a ways back before recovering. You flip back, reorienting on the Time Patroller and wiping your face with the back of your right hand.
“Tch.” you say, spitting a bit of blood. “Cheap trick. But you won't catch me with that again.”
“Was a trick that'd only work once.” he replies, retaking his stance.
But what do you do now?
>Rush in and attack with Djem So, overwhelm him with your power and technique>Activate your Energy Body and gesture for him to come at you, defend against his onslaught>If he's going to transform then you will too, ascend into your first Berserker form then rush him>Enough holding back, take on your Berserker God form once more and see what he can REALLY do>Other(write in)
